ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism

Today’s summit in London “to stop the fighting in Ukraine” is a desperate attempt by European countries to claim credit for the peace agreement being forged by the White House. Quite ironic, keeping in mind the EU is greatly responsible for the political turmoil and instability in Ukraine since 2014
